Uncle Frank: Quote out of context. Just for the record, no way, no how and never will I agree that any method of using the gorilla game guarantees a "sure thing". Grin or no. Suggest you speak for yourself, not for me.

Solely authorized by China's State Council to build and operate a domestic code-division, multiple-access network, Unicom signed a framework agreement with San Diego-based Qualcomm in February to construct a nationwide CDMA network. Unicom plans to establish a network supporting 10 million subscribers by the end of the year.
The deal was delayed recently because of official concerns about the cost and timing of China's new nationwide wireless telecom network. But during a promotion for its upcoming stock offering, Xianzu Yang, Unicom's chairman and chief executive, confirmed the company is standing by its agreement with Qualcomm.

The huge trial, encompassing tens of cellular basestations, will move from narrowband IS-95A directly to cdma2000 1X multiple carrier technology. Unicom owns a system that is twice the capacity of existing GSM systems operating on 1.25 MHz channels. It plans to ....
